RELIEF POURS
IN SALEM
Food In Abundance For 18,000
Homeless in Fire Swept Cily
5,000 TENTS ARE ERECTED
Six Deaths Occurred During Fire, Four
of Them Being Directly Caused by
Flames $12,000,000 Estimated Loss.
- Measures for the relief of the 18,000
persons made homeless in the con
flagration at Salem, Mass., are pro
ceeding with military precision.
More than 3,500 were directly de
pendent upon the relief committee foi
shelter, while 4,500 waited patiently in
the various bread lines for the food
which streamed into the city in
abundance. Five thousand tents have
been erected.
Those cared for in the tented camps
were of the poorer class, mostly for
eigners. Nearly all the well-to-do had
found refuge with friends.
The value of the property destroyed
by the fire is from $12,000,000 to $15,
000,000, according to the insurance
men, and a little more than one-halt
was insured.
So far as Is now known only four
persons lost their lives in the lire and
two more died as a result.
The charred body of the infant child
of Mrs. Mary Hassel was found in the
ruins of 27 May street.
Samuel P. Wlthey, a paralytic, lost
liis life at 26 Prospect street and Mrs.
Sarah Abbott of 131 Lafayette street
perished.
An unidentified body was also re
covered, the sex of which has not been
determined.
Those who died were Sarah Fluke,
a nurse, who passed away while being
moved from one hospital to another,
and Mrs. Edward McGlone, who died
of heart failure when her house caught
fire.
More than 1,000 homes were de
stroyed, many of the larger industrial
plants, schools, churches and several
business buildings.
The fire, which started in the leath
er district, got beyond control and
raged until the water of South river
would allow it to go no farther.
The principal part of the devastated
district includes all that section west
of Boston Btreet and east of Essex
street. The burned over section is
about three miles long and from a half
mile to a mile and a half wide.
The fire started In the plant of the
Karn Leather company in Boston
street, where seventy-five hands were
at work. All escaped, although many
were obliged to Jump from second
and third floors. One of these,
Charles Lee, had both legs broken.
After more than twenty-five plants
In the leather district had been
burned the fire spread to the resi
dential section in ward 4 and de
stroyed from fifty to seventy-live
houses. Then it continued swirling
through the frame dwellings into ward
3 and finally reached ward 5, the fash
ionable section. The flames licked up
the handsome homes almost the entire
length of -Lafayette street.
The public schools Saltonstall and
Ropen went down before the flames,
All the houses on the Bide streets west
of Lafayette street were destroyed.
The . fire leaped over into the French
district, which is populated by at least
10,000 persons.
From this point the fire attacked
mill No. 5 of the Naumkeag Cotton
company, wHch gave employment to
3,600 persons. The mill was de
stroyed. Five plants In the lower part
of ward 5 were burned.
St. Joseph '3 Roman Catholic church,
which was recently completed at a
cost of $250,000, was burned. St.
Joseph's convent and St. Joseph's
parochial school were also wiped out.
The sisters and children escaped. The
orphan asylum conducted by the city
also caught fire after twenty-five
Bisters had escorted their 150 charges
to St. Mary's school. The asylu,m
property was destroyed.
When the Salem hospital wax
threatened physicians and nurses,
pressing automobiles, wagons and am
bulances into service, took all the
patients to various public institutions,
where they were as comfortable as
possible on cots.
The fire got such a terrific headway
early that calls were sent to nearby
towns for firemen and policemen. Fire
companies from Boston, Haverhill,
Lynn, Lawrence, Beverly. Peabody,
Marblehead, Dunvers und even as la
as Quincy, Newburyport and Glou
cester helped the local lire department
stay the blaze.
Fire compunies of local militia were
ordered out to police the city, help the
homeless and prevent looting and
they were supplemented by two com
panies of militia and one company of
naval cadets from Lynn.
All automliile owners In the city
gkdly placed their machines at the
disposal of rescuing parties and many
of the well-to-do joined in helping
tnirfr poorer fellow-citizens save what
funiituse and other personal effects
they wxild.
H. O. Benson, a director of the
Naumkeag Steam Cotton company, an
nounced at a mass meeting of citizens
that the ml'ls, employing K.R00 opera
tives, would be rebuilt immediately.
Other manufacturing concerns also
announced they would rebuild.

RUYAL UUUPLt
ASSASSINATED
Archduke Francis Ferdinand anf
Wile Are Killed
BOMB MISSES, BULLETS HIT
Heir to Austrian Throne and Dutchess
Meet Death While on Annual Visit
to the Annexed Province of Bosnia.
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, nephew
Of Emperor Francis Joseph and heir
to the Austrian throne, and the Duch
ess of Hohenberg, bis inorganic wile,
were assassinated at Sarayevo, the
capital of Bosnia,
Two attempts were uiado on tho
lives of the royal party.
A bomb thrown at their motorcar
was warded off by the archduke. Iater
a young Servian student emptied his
revolver at the royal car and the arch
duke and the duchess were killed.
The archduke was struck full in the
face and the duchess was shot through
the abdomen and throat. They died
a few minutes after reaching the
palace, to which they were hurried.
Those responsible for the assassina
tion took care that it should prove ef
fective, as there were two assailants,
the first armed with a bomb and the
second with a revolver. The bomb
was thrown at the royal automobile as
it was proceeding to the town hall,
where a reception was to be held.
The archduke saw the deadly mis
sile hurtling through the air and ward
ed it off with his arm. It fell outsldo
the car and exploded, slightly woun l
lng two aid de camps in a second car
and half a dozen spectators.
It was on the return of the proces
sion that the tragedy was added to
the long list of those that have dark
ened the pages of the recent history
of the Hapsburgs.
As the royal automobile reached a
prominent point in the route to the
palace an eighth grade student, Gavrio
Prinzlp, sprang out of the crowd and
poured a deadly fusillade of bullets
from an automatic pistol at the arch
duke and princess.
Prinzip and a fellow conspirator, a
compositor from Treblnje named Gab
rlnovlcs, barely escaped lynching by
the infuriated spectators. They finally
were seized by the police, who afford
ed them protection. Both are natives
of the province of Herzegovina.
The first attcupt against the arch
duke occurred just outside the girls'
high school. His car had restarted
after a brief pause for an inspection
of the building when Gabrinovlcs
hurled the bomb. This was so suc
cessfully warded off by the archduke
that it fell directly beneath the follow
ing car, the occupants of which, Count
von Boos-Waldeck and Colonel Mo
rlzzo, were struck by slivers of iron.
Archduke Francis Ferdinand stopped
bis car and after making inquiries as
to their injiries and lending what aid
he could, continued his Journey to the
town hall. There the burgomaster be
gan the customary address, but the
archduke sharply interrupted and
snapped out:
"Herr Burgomaster, we have como
here to pay you a visit and bombs
have been thrown at us. This Is al
together an amazing Indignity."
After a pause, the archduke said:
"Now you may speak."
On leaving the hall the archduke
and his wife announced their intention
of visiting the wounded members of
their suite at the hospital on their
way back to the palace. They were
actually bound on their mission tf
mercy when at the corner of Rudo'f
8trasse and Franz Josef strasse Prin
zip opened re.
A bullet struck the archduke In the
face. The duchess was wounded In
the abdomen and another bullet stru k
her In the 'hroat, severing an artery.
She fell unconscious across her hus
band's knee. At the same moment
the archduke sank to the floor of the
car.
The assassins were interrogated by
the police and both seemed to glory In
their exploit.
Prinzlp said he had studied for a
time at Belgrade. He declared he had
long intended to kill some eminent
person from nationalist motives. I'n
was awaiting the archduke at a point
where he knew the automobile would
slacken speed,' turning into Franz
Josef strasse. The presence of the
duchess in the car caused him to he.d-
tate, but only for a moment. Then his
nerve returned and he emptied his
pistol at the imperial pair. He denied
tbat he had any accomplices.
Prinzlp Is eighteen years old.
Nedeljo Gabrinovlcs is twenty-one. Ho
told the police he had obtained the
bomb from anarchists at Belgrade,
whose nameB he did not know.
After his unsuccessful attempt to
blow up tie Imperial visitors Gab
rinovlcs eprang Into the river Mil
Jacka in an effort to escape, but wit
nesses of his crime plunged after him
and seized him.
A few yards from the scene of the
shooting an unexploded bomb was
found, which, it Is suspected, wa
thrown away by an accomplice after
he had noted the success of Prlnzip'a
attack.
King's Hat Knocked Off.
King George's hat was struck by H
bundle of nllitant literature, thrown

INTERROGATION
POINTSERASED
Business to Get Its "Constitu
tion of Freedom"
WILSON SEES ROSY OUTLOOK
President Addresses Gathering of
Editors and Assures Them That
Business Depression Is Passing.
"A new constitution of freedom for
business" is the object of the admin
istration's trust legislation program,
President Wilson declared, addressing
a party or Virginia editors at tho
White House. He predicted the coun
try was on the verge of a great busi
ness revival.
The president said that a temporary
business depression at present was
sure to pass as soon as business
realized that the anti trust legislation
is Bure to bo enacted.
The president In his uddress said:
"I want to say to you that the signs
of a very strong business revival are
becoming more aud more evident
from day to day.
"On all hands It Is admitted that
there are processes of business or
have been processes of business in
tills country which ought to be cor
rected, but the correction lias been
postponed aud In proportion to tho
postponement the fever has Increased
the fever of apprehension.
"There Is nothing more fatal to busi
ness than to be kept guessing from
month to month and from year to year
whether something serious Is going to
happen to It or not and what In par
ticular Is going to happen to it If any
thing does.
"The guessing went on, the air was
full of Interrogation points for ten
years or more. Then came an admin
istration which for the first time had
a definite p-ogram of constructive cor
rection. And tho administration pro
ceeded to carry out this program."
The president referred to the enact
ment of the tariff bill and currency
reform bill and tho opposition en
countered to their enactment and
said:
"Then we advanced to the trust pro
gram and nniln tho same dread, the
same hesitation, the same urgency
that tlio thing should be postponed.
"It will not be postponed. Wo know
what we aro doing. We have been
fortunate enough to obtain the advice
of men who understand the business
of tho country and we know Hie effect
is going to be exactly what tho effect
currency reform was, a sense of relief
and of security.
"Because when the program Is fin
ished it is finished. The interrogation
points are rubbed out off tho slate
business is given Its constitution of
freedom and Is bidden go forth under
the constitution. And just as soon as
It gels that leave and freedom thero
will be a boom of business In tills
country such as we have never wit
nessed in the United Stales.
"I am a friend of business nnd
servant of tho country would not dare
stop In this program and bring on an
other long period of agitation. Agita
tion longer continued would bo fatal
to the business of the country, and If
this program Is delayed thero will
come agitation, wit h every letter in
tho word a capllal."
JOHNSON WINS FIGHT
Championship Battle Brings Protests
From Paris Crowd.
Jack Johnson, the champion heavy
weight fighter of the world, in Paris
successfully defended his titlo in a
twenty-round bout with Frank Mo
ran of Pit'shurgh. Experts declare
the twenty rounds of milling was the
worst ever seen In a championship
contest.
When the twenty rounds were end
ed the blue!: man was richer by prob
ably $100,003.
The Immense crowd that packed
the Velodrome dllivcr veuled their
dissatisfaction throughout the contest
with volleys of boos and called to the
men to show some tight. It was not
a light. It was not even a near fight.
Moran showed absolutely nothing and
Johnson never had to extend himself.
The champion either deliberately al
lowed Moran to stay the limit by re
fusing to punish him or he "has noth
ing." GRIT ONCE MORE A WINNER
